This trailer with a section of wind turbine tower for DTE’s Echo Wind Park sits in this Moore Road ditch Thursday, about a half-mile south of Filion Road in Chandler Township. DTE energy spokesman Scott Simons said that the trailer rolled into the ditch around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, after it came uncoupled from the truck pulling it. The driver was unharmed. A worker on hand estimated that the trailer and equipment on hand weighed about 100 tons.
